 What if there are no right answers, just mud balls?
My studio is filled with roots, branches, bones and a variety of objects that have been transformed by the outside environment. Mud, dirt and mould are prominent materials in the pieces I create.
Found objects take on new meanings inside my studio. They rest in a corner or on a shelf, often for months, as I become used to their new appearance in an inside setting. They are altered by myself -played with, wrapped up, broken, added to, burnt into and eventually resolved into a final piece or series of work. The work often starts out as a story or ends up as one. Working in my studio can be like creating a play with characters, objects and props. I regularly work from an initial phrase, title or expression I have heard; the words being the impetus to get me working. My natural instinct is to respond in a 3 dimensional way, playing with objects and creating a narrative. Sometimes the story gets lost in the making or it takes on a new meaning. |
